Attendance and Instructions for Simulation Tasks
Attendance Check
- The instructor begins by checking attendance, noting who is present and who is absent. Specific names are mentioned, indicating a structured approach to ensure all students are accounted for.
Task Overview
- Students are instructed to list at least five advantages and disadvantages of the "simulador robo de ca" compared to other simulators. This task aims to encourage critical thinking about the tools they are using.
- A second task requires students to elaborate on the procedure followed in class for implementing a workspace in the simulator, emphasizing practical application of learned concepts.
Technical Issues Discussion
- Students express concerns regarding technical difficulties with trajectories used in previous classes, specifically mentioning issues with importing necessary files into their simulation software. This highlights common challenges faced during practical applications of theoretical knowledge.
- The instructor reassures students that they can refer back to recorded class videos for guidance on procedures and troubleshooting tips related to their projects. This reinforces the importance of utilizing available resources effectively.
Clarifications on Project Requirements
Procedure Completion Guidance
- The instructor emphasizes that completing the workspace setup is crucial and suggests reviewing video recordings from class sessions as a resource for finalizing their procedures. This encourages self-directed learning among students.
- Students are reminded that they do not need to record new videos but should focus on documenting steps taken during previous classes, which fosters accountability and thoroughness in their submissions.
Submission Timeline
- There is a discussion about submission deadlines, with flexibility offered considering varying student circumstances (e.g., work commitments). The instructor indicates that responses will be collected until the end of class, allowing ample time for completion while maintaining structure in submissions.
Final Remarks and Assistance Requests
Emphasis on Quality Work
- The instructor stresses the importance of quality over speed when submitting work, likening it to preparing a professional report rather than rushing through tasks without care or attention to detail. This sets high expectations for student performance and engagement with material presented in class.
Additional Questions Encouraged
Class Instructions and Evaluations
Overview of Class Activities
